About this file

This document is an options pricing sheet for the City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department's grounds maintenance contract for special events parks and city-owned properties across nine sites totaling approximately 61.3 acres. The City solicits sealed bids for comprehensive grounds maintenance services including turf mowing, turf maintenance, and landscape bed maintenance, with each site receiving 38 maintenance cuts annually on a cyclical schedule. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site inspection was scheduled for February 24, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., with sealed bids due by 3:00 p.m. on March 13, 2026, submitted through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal. The contract term is one year from the effective date, with options for renewal for three additional one-year periods through mutual written agreement and unilateral City extension rights for up to three additional thirty-day periods. Award notification is expected within 120 days of bid opening.

The options pricing sheet establishes unit price categories for additional maintenance services beyond the base contract, including mowing and cleanup per 1/10 acre, landscape bed maintenance (bed weeding, shrub pruning, mulch installation, and plant material installation), herbicide treatment for beds, turf areas, and perimeter fences, tree pruning by size category, granular and liquid fertilizer application, sodding by grass variety, plant replacement with labor costs, debris and trash removal by weight, additional litter pickup per cycle, and exceptional special maintenance tasks on an hourly basis per worker. The City of Tampa offers a five percent bid discount (capped at $10,000) for certified Small Local Business Enterprises for evaluation purposes only. The estimated contract amount is $350,000.00, and the procurement is open to all qualified bidders. Contractors must demonstrate Florida business licensing, appropriate insurance coverage, three references, current Florida Department of Agriculture and Pest Control Operator licensing where applicable, and specified equipment inventory including six ride-on rotary mowers, four walk-behind mowers, and various other landscaping equipment.
